Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Richard Marrant made the kick off which started today's match. A collision led to Cerva getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Niki Van der Willeghem hit a great ball. Jupilose CF's Willem Volens couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 5th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Cerva. Hubert De Backer took the ball and in the 7 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Loui Van Haeght. Loui Van Haeght dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. The crowd rose to their feet as Cerva's Lukas Sterckmans slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Tran Koenens. That made the score 1-1 after 14 minutes of play. After having played for 18 minutes, Lukas Sterckmans managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Cerva's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lukas Sterckmans was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jupilose CF's Tran Koenens proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 21st minute of the match, managed to save Jupilose CF from getting a goal against them. 24 minutes into the match, Jordy De Langhe notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Cerva's Loui Van Haeght. Loui Van Haeght was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After having played for 28 minutes, Lukas Sterckmans managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Cerva's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lukas Sterckmans was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 30 minutes into the game, Lukas Sterckmans cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-2. Tran Koenens was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Tran Koenens came out of the goal in the 34th minute to try and stop a shot by Cerva's Richard Marrant. But to his dismay, Richard Marrant quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-2. Lukas Sterckmans could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 42nd minute of the match, but Tran Koenens made a huge save. Richard Marrant had several of the Jupilose CF's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 45 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 4-2 score and a disappointed Tran Koenens as he didn't even see the shot coming. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 4-2 at half-time.

The wind increased when Hubert De Backer made the kick off in the second half. Richard Marrant blasted a shot towards the goal in the 51st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Tran Koenens having to make a save. Lukas Sterckmans took the ball and in the 52 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Tran Koenens. Tran Koenens dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 5-2. Cerva's Richard Marrant got a good chance for a goal in the 56th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 62 minutes into the match, Jupilose CF's goal looked a bit too open when Richard Marrant came free, but Tran Koenens reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Lukas Sterckmans recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 65th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 66th minute, Nestor Gijsbrechts hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jupilose CF's Tran Koenens played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Richard Marrant in the 67th minute of play. Lukas Sterckmans struck a weak shot in the 69th minute. Tran Koenens didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cerva. With an all-out effort, Jupilose CF's Loui Van Haeght threw himself towards the right post 71 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Hubert De Backer, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Emile Mampaerts hit a great freekick 73 minutes into the match. In the 74th minute Richard Marrant shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tran Koenens saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tran Koenens showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Lukas Sterckmans, who was totally free with the ball in the 76th minute. Tran Koenens didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Lukas Sterckmans went, in the 76th minute, to the upper right corner, 6-2 was the resulting score. Nestor Gijsbrechts kicked well hit freekick during the 78th minute of the match. In the 87th minute the ball was on its way in behind Jupilose CF's goalkeeper Tran Koenens, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 90th minute, Emile Mampaerts hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 91 minutes into the match, Jupilose CF's goal looked a bit too open when Richard Marrant came free, but Tran Koenens reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 95 played minutes Cerva got a freekick which was hit by Niki Van der Willeghem. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Cerva fully deserved thier win.
